Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000BA 54" Bariatric Low Air Loss and Alternating Pressure Mattress System

Protekt Aire 8000BA 54" Mattress System: High-Capacity Alternating Pressure and True Low Air Loss for Advanced Microclimate and Pressure Management

The Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 8000BA 54" Bariatric Mattress System delivers an elite, high-performance therapeutic support surface specifically engineered for the prevention, treatment, and management of complex, high-stage pressure injuries in bariatric patients. Optimized for bariatric intensive care units, long-term specialized care facilities, and institutional bariatric programs, this heavy-duty system alternates internal cell pressures to prevent capillary occlusion and optimize tissue perfusion. By automating weight redistribution, it minimizes the intense physical strain placed on clinical teams trying to manually reposition high-weight individuals.

Operational optimization is driven by a high-output, dual-compressor digital airflow pump that generates a high volume of air per minute to sustain true low air loss. This steady airflow circulates directly beneath a specialized multi-stretch nylon top cover, effectively reducing skin maceration by managing the heat and moisture microclimate surrounding the patient. The system offers multiple therapeutic software modes including variable cycle times for alternating pressure therapy and a static mode for stable, uniform immersion during nursing procedures or physical transfers supporting a bariatric weight capacity of up to 1,000 lbs.

Every mechanical and textile component of the Protekt Aire 8000BA is designed to meet strict institutional safety, durability, and sanitization benchmarks. The mattress is constructed from 10-inch deep, heavy-gauge nylon/polyurethane air bladders that prevent bottoming out, while integrated side bolsters protect the patient from lateral structural rolling and entrapment zone injuries. Completed with a safety lock-out features to eliminate accidental adjustments, visual and audible low-pressure alarms for proactive system tracking, and a rapid CPR pull-cord deflation assembly, this system delivers an uncompromised balance of high-capacity bariatric therapy and patient security.

Key Benefits:

• High-Output Dual Compressors: Delivers continuous, high-volume airflow to maintain efficient true low air loss therapy and rapid pressure cell inflation cycles.
• Microclimate Moisture Management: The combination of a high-flow pump and a vapor-permeable top cover continuously lowers skin heat and sweat accumulation to fight tissue maceration.
• 10-Inch Deep Air Bladders: Heavy-gauge nylon/polyurethane air cells offer deep immersion and dynamic support to ensure bariatric patients never bottom out against the bed frame.
• Integrated Safety Side Bolsters: Formed with built-in lateral perimeter air tubes to prevent accidental patient rolling and safeguard against mattress edge entrapment zones.
• Static Seating/Nursing Profile: Features a user-selectable static mode that temporarily stabilizes the air deck to provide a firm baseline for safe patient transfers and clinical care.
• Rapid CPR Deflation Assembly: Outfitted with an easily accessible, high-visibility CPR pull-cord module that rapidly dumps air from the system to facilitate immediate emergency protocols.
